Lot Essay

The steel screw cargo steamer Glenmay was built by Ropner & Son of Stockton for R. Livingston & Co. in 1905. Registered in West Hartlepool at 2,485 tons gross (1,571 net), she measured 310 feet in lenght with a 44 foot beam and was engined by Blair's of Stockton. Remaining with her first owners for eleven years, she was sold in 1916 but retained her original name until sold again to Hogarth & Sons in 1919. Renamed Baron Douglas, Hogarth's only kept her for a year before selling her on and when she was resold again to Greek owners in 1930 she was renamed Afroessa. Her new owners - Kirtatas Brothers of Andros - kept her for the rest of her life, or at least until August 1940 when she was captured and renamed Sahara. Recovered at Dakar on 16th March 1943, she reverted to her previous name of Afroessa and was re-registered under British colours. Arriving at Freetown on 14th August 1943, she was put to use as a hulk and disappears from record thereafter.
